Update Your Prescription

Choose Trendy Frames

Once your prescription is in hand, you can begin shopping for frames. There are three primary areas of preference when browsing for sunglasses frames online. Gathering some quick information before you start shopping can help simplify the process.

• Shape

Record some information about the shape of your face and which glasses may complement you more than others. The familiar face shapes are square, round, oval, and heart-shaped. Generally, a good rule of thumb is to choose a frame shape that is somewhat the opposite of your face shape—square for round or oval for square, etc. No shape is ever a true opposite so base your decision on what you like too.

• Size

You can measure your face from temple to temple to determine the width of your face. Depending on that measurement, you can decide on the width of your glasses. It is true that some people also prefer oversized, and even tiny frames have gained popularity, but as a starting point, measure your face to get the proper width.

• Color

You can determine whether you have warm, cool, or neutral skin and hair tones. Based on this information, you may decide that some colors complement your skin or hair better than others. Likewise, contrasting colors or bright patterns can also make a bold statement.

Pick Ideal Lenses

You have the updated prescription in hand, and you know which frames you want. Now, the next step is to choose the lenses that best suit your needs.

Input Your Prescription

Once you make all the selections to ensure your new sunglasses will be the best prescription sunglasses you've ever purchased, you'll need to go back to the first step: get your prescription ready. One of the final steps of the process requires you to input your prescription and then verify that it is correct. Take the time to double-check your prescription so that you're extra sure the numbers have been inputted correctly.

Verify and Submit

When you verify that the prescription is correct, the last remaining step is to submit your order. You will verify and submit your order then complete your payment and shipping information. The only thing between you and your new prescription sunglasses now is just a little bit of time and a lot of anticipation.
